CHENNAI: Cab aggregator Ola recently did a study in Chennai and other metros to find out travel trends in 2019. As part of this, several parameters like most preferred travel time, mode and payment options were analysed.

Interestingly, the team also studied music preferences of commuters while travelling in their cabs with 'Ola Play' option. The study, titled “Ola Hyperdrive 2019,” has listed the top three most-played songs by Chennaiites.

To the surprise, it was not “Kannana Kanne” from Viswasam or “Single Pasanga” from Natpe Thunai or any other 2019 chartbusters which were heard the most.

Instead, it was “Romeo Attam Pottal” (from Mr Romeo), an A R Rahman song, which was a favourite for many '90s kids. They seemed to have not lost their love for this Prabhudeva-starrer even 23 years after the movie was released

Next in the list was “Hosanna” from Vinnai Thandi Varuvaaya. This too was composed by ARR for a movie directed by Gautam Vasudev Menon, starring Simbu.

Dhanush's “Don'u Don'u Don'u” (from Maari), composed by Anirudh, was next on the list.

Commuters can listen to songs of their choice when they book an 'Ola Prime' cab.

As far as genres are concerned, Chennai people preferred romance and soft music over others and that it was mostly in the evening, between 5pm and 8pm.
